Health & Wellness

A well-stocked kitchen is a great way to save money and time, and homemade dishes offer so much more than their fast food counterparts. When you prepare meals from scratch you control what goes into your dishes. And when your kitchen is stocked with nutritious ingredients you can prepare a multitude of meals that offer great health benefits—and great flavor. Keep these nourishing pantry picks on hand for better eating:

From fresh mushrooms sautéed in heart-healthy olive oil and with nutrient-rich garlic to whole wheat spaghetti topped with lycopene-rich tomatoes, you can make so many beneficial dishes when your kitchen is stocked with healthful foods.

In Season

Matters of the heart are always important, but especially so during the month of February. Not only is there Valentine's Day to think about, February is also American Heart Month. This is a good time to evaluate your food choices and the impact they may have on your heart. Fresh, in season fruits and vegetables are among the best choices you can make for your heart health.
